Angel's Share Warmly Welcomes ABC7's Spencer Christian as the Master of Ceremonies

Recognized by many as the long-time weatherman on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America", Spencer Christian is currently weatherman/newscaster for ABC-7 News on KGO-TV in San Francisco. He moved to the Bay Area in December, 1998, after having spent 22 years with ABC-TV in New York.

In addition to his prominent role on ABC, Spencer has also become widely known as an oenophile. He began tasting, studying, and collecting fine wine in 1976 and, for more than two decades, maintained a personal collection of more than 1,500 bottles. In January, 1995, he began hosting a weekly television program called "Spencer Christian's Wine Cellar". The show aired for nearly 3 years on HGTV (Home & Garden Television) before moving to the TV Food Network in 1997. His programs have taken him to the most celebrated vineyards in California, Washington State, and other U.S. wine growing regions, as well as France, Australia, and New Zealand. Spencer has also conducted numerous wine tastings, seminars, and auctions all across North America.

Since moving to the Bay Area and settling in Marin County, Spencer has become even more passionately involved with wine. He regularly attends gourmet food and wine events; he visits California wine growing regions about two weekends out of every month; and he often broadcasts his weather reports for KGO-TV and ABC-7 News from vineyards and other wine-related venues. In addition, Spencer hosts a weekly one-hour radio program on wine. It is called "The Wine Radio Network", and it airs Saturdays at 11:00am and Sundays at 2:00pm on KVON Radio in Napa. Spencer has plans to expand the program to a network of radio stations across the country. He is also in the process of launching a major new television wine show, possibly as early as the fall of 2005. Details on this new program will be announced later this year.
